“Not at the norm – 25-years-old … you don’t normally have someone just pass away in general, so we have to look at a cause and we don’t’ know where that cause is going to lead,” Ligonier Township Police Chief Michael Matrunics said.

Meanwhile, police are awaiting the results of an autopsy and toxicology reports.
